*Note: I thought I'd published this post on the 15th, but now I see I never switched it off draft...*
I think that the Americanized theory of Karma is a very cool thing. I try to live my life well & do good things for others. My life has taken some pretty good turns & I'm generally a happy person.
I see Karma a lot in my life...
My favorite vineyard in Michigan is Karma Vista. (I'm biased on this one because it's owned by an old school mate of my mom's).
They do have quite nice wines & thinking of it now I do have a bottle of 'Pink side of the Moon' in the cupboard.
This morning Scout posted a nice little post on Karma & I was lucky enough to snag up the 100% Merino, Karma's a Bitch sock yarn. I was tempted several times by the Lime & Violet, but with the black in there I think the colors just jump.
I now have my camera again and can show you the super cool thrummed Mittens I'm making along with my class~
First off, Yes I'm making the mate for the original mitten...
The amount of yarn left is making me a bit squeamish about having enough, but I've weighted it and there is enough...
Second, I'm super excited about the new pair...
They are Louisa Harding Wool & Silk in Chocolate Brown with 100% cashmere thrums!
These are going to be so warm!
I just got word from Jonelle at South West Trading Company that I can go ahead and show off my design for the book of Karaoke Hats!
I love the way the final design worked out,
This hat makes me so happy. The lines zig zag right into the top. The decreases worked seamlessly into the design. I didn't put a specific turning ridge in so you can fold it to fit your head. In one of the brown or forest green colorways I would totally wear this hat.
The pattern will be available from South West Trading Company later this Fall.
